whoa, hadn't been to any mall in a long time. Didn't realize that Motorola joined the party in making digital photo viewers, haven't seen SE's yet. Like HOBBS said, there aren't alot of visually exciting phones out there. And Samsung has some crazy low end phone with the keypad on the left side of the screen... Don't want to start with how overly overpriced the w995 is.

Enjoy the weekend yal!

Shot gola; you have a good 'un too, boet. We're apparently going to battered by a wild storm over the weekend, so no two wheels galavanting for us. Or braaing for that matter.
Right, now let's see what new DVD releases Blockbuster has..

I'm glad you also noticed that Gola.All these mobile companies need new fresh design teams me thinks.I would steal some of those designers creating DoCoMo devices.Now that would be a breathe of fresh air.

Thanx for the heads up, Gucci, just installed it, definitely seems to be nippier than the former version.

Wanqs
Enjoy the DVDs
Partly cloudy and a 100% chance of flat phone batteries on our side (MTN ad)

No doubt, it would really be cool to atleast see DoCoMo looking phones internationally.

I'm probably late-but, what got my attention was the new 4G Ipod shuffle, thing has no buttons it apparently 'talks' to you, Apple managed to do it again. Really can't wait to see what they have in store for the new iphones

GUCCI
Good music all the way bro, you know how i does it... For some reason, Young Jeezy's voice, in his first two lines, sounds like Quagmire's from fam guy.
Heard that Redman track, the beats are too tops!

Ja a kak day for South African sport indeed.And today we have Bafana Bafana up aginst Japan with theirold/new coach and the return of Benni 'the I don't like personally but agree he's the best striker we have and really need him' McCarthy.Lets hope this is the turning point and we demolish the little Samurai warriors something like 3-0 and get some much needed respect and some needed home team support before next years World Cup.
@Gola Yep,Im also trying to imagine what Apple have in store for us when they reveal a 4G iPhone (???) The only thing that worries me since Ive taken my E90 in is,the 1 year warranty you get from Apple with no second year from Vodacom because the handset isnt locked in to one network therefor Vodacom doesnt cover that second year.That kinda worries me.Imagine if I get dead pixels or God forbid drop the bugger after the first year and crack the screen and have to take it in to get fixed.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ The guy at Vodacare says theyve designed them as not to be opened.So I dont think any Vodacare technician will be fixing it.Its comforting having that second year cover from your service provider.Yes replacing my E90 outer screen came to just under R135 for screen & R71 for labour totalling R235 (didnt have to pay,warranty covered) but just imagine having to replace an iPhone screen (is it even worth it???) and how much is it going to cost you. Isnt it funny how the whole thing came to R235 because it is within the warranty period but if it was out of warranty it would have most probably doubled in amount.My friend had to replace a 6600 slide screen recently and got it done at a Vodashop and that came to about R550-R600.??????? Hmm are we been ripped off when the money comes out of our pockets.I hate service providers.They such Vampires.

@ Hobbs,you better hope you don't break yor iPhone screen,they are really pricey boet.I think Vodacare charges about R4500 to replace a 3g iPhone screen.Now that's a crazy price.Not worth it,on the other hand you can order the screen on the web and do it yourself if you can and save a lot of moola,well let's hope it never comes to that bro
